' COCKTAIL SHAKER.

Application filed August 29, 1928. Serial No. 302,758.

This invention relates broadly to vessels or containers of the character generally known as cocktail shakers,

eally to a removable cover or cap shakers.

The primary object of the inventlon is to provide a cocktail shaker having a cap wh ch embodies means whereby a perfect seal with the body is provided. I

A further object is to provide a metallic cap of slip top form for cocktail shakers, within which is wholly enclosed and concealed a cork ring adapted to form a seal between the metal and the shaker body.

In describing the invention in detail, reference is herein had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the invention;

Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of the same;

Figure 3 is an upper sap; and- Figure 4 is an under side elevation of the same, detached.

Referring container, preferably of glass, which constitutes the body of the cocktail shaker. The upper ably beveled interiorly to form an seat, as shown at 2 in Fig. 2.

The cap includes outer and inner shells 3 and 5 of sheet metal, the former having a lower cylindrical portion 6 adapted more or less closely to embrace exteriorly the mouth portion of the body 1 and having a cylindrical upper end or neck portion 8 of reduced diameter, said neck being adapted to rece ve in snugly fitted relation thereto a cap-like closure 7.

The inner shell 5 has a cylindrical body of materially smaller diameterthan the cylindricalportion of the outer shell 3 and is disposed in concentric relation to the latter. The upper end of said inner shell is outwardly drawn or expanded to form an annular rim 9 of roll, or semi-roll, form which is snugly for such end elevation of the inclined fitted in permanently seated relation to the outer shell 3, being received within an internal annular channel 10 provided therefor in said outer shell.

Mounted in permanently embracing rela tion to the cylindrical body of the inner shell 5 is a ring 11 of a readily compressible sealforming material, preferably cork, which has its lower edge approximately flush with the and more specifito said drawings, 1 designates 9.

end, or mouth, of said body 1 is preferlower end of said shell 5 and which has a portion of its upper edge occupying underlying seated relation to an inwardly drawn or pressed rib or shoulder 12 formed on the outer shell 3 and located below the channel 10. Said ring 11,'or the lower edge portion thereof, is spaced from the cylindrical portion 6 of the outer shell a distance approximating the thickness of the edge of the mouth of the shaker body, thus to provide an intermediate annular space or channel 13 within which said mouth edge is receivable.

The inner shell 5 has permanently mounted within its lower end a strainer which may be provided either in the form of a coarse wire netting, as shown at 14; in Fig. 2, or in the form of a perforated metal disk, as shown at 15 in Fig. 4.

It will be noted that the cork ring is permanently carried by the cap and, when the latter is applied to the shaker body, forms a close seal between the inner shell 5 and said body. The cylindrical portion 6 of the outer shell at all times conceals the ring from view. Additionally, bodies no parts which sible for cleaning.

What is claimed is- 1. A cap for cocktail shakers, comprising outer and inner metallic shells, the outer shell having a cylindrical lower end portion and being contracted at its upper end to form a neck, the inner shell having the are not readily acces body portion thereof spaced from and occupying concentric relation to the cylindrical portion of said outer shell,-said outer shell having therein an internal annular channel and the inner shell having an upper terminal portion fitted snugly within said channel, a ring of compressible material disposed in closely embracing relation to the body portion of the inner shell, said ring being spaced from the cylindrical portion of the outer shell to provide an intermediate space, and a strainer carried by the lower end of said inner shell.

2. A cap for cocktail. shakers, comprising outer and inner metallic shells, the outer shell having a cylindrical lower end portion and being contracted at its upper end to form a neck, the inner shell having the body portion thereof spaced from and occupying concentric relation to the cylindrical portion of said outer shell and having its upper end attached to said outer shell, a cork ringoccuit will be noted that the cap empying closely embracing relation to said inner shell and having its lower edge portion spaced from the outer shell to form an intermediate channel, said ring and said outer shell being adapted to engage the mouth portion of a shaker body interiorly and exteriorly, respectively, and a strainer carried by said inner shell.

3. A cap for cocktail shakers, comprising outer and inner metallic shells occupying concentric relation, the upper end of the inner shell being permanently disposed in attached closely-seated relation to the outer shell intermediate the ends of the latter, a cork ring carried in embracing relation to said inner shell and having its lower edge portion spaced from the outer shell to form an intermediate annular channel, and a strainer carried by said inner shell.

t. A cap for cocktail shakers, comprising outer and inner metallic shells occupying concentric relation, the upper end of the inner shell being outwardly turned to form an annular roll, the outer shell having therein intermediate its ends an internal annular channel in which said roll is permanently seated, a cork ring carried in embracing relation to the lower end portion of the inner shell and spaced from the adjacent portion of the outer shell to form an intermediate channel, and a strainer carried by said inner shell.

In testimony whereof, I atfiX my signature.
